Reborn in 1985: I Split from the Family and Became a Tycoon from the Start, Leaving the Ungrateful Son-in-Law Regretful

In his previous life, Lu Yang's biological father secretly arranged for his cousin to take his place at university, forcing Lu Yang to work himself to the bone to pay for his cousin's education. After graduating, his cousin got drunk and beat someone up, landing himself in the middle of a nationwide crackdown.

His father then forced Lu Yang to take the blame for his cousin. He spent five years in prison, and by the time he got out, his father was already in the late stages of bone cancer.

Lu Yang sold his blood to buy painkillers for his father, but his father left a will giving all his property to his cousin.

Only on his deathbed did Lu Yang learn that his cousin was the son his father had fathered with his second aunt!

After being reborn, he immediately split from the family, decisively ditching his parasitic second aunt, cousin, and older female cousin and leaving them to fend for themselves.

He became cold-blooded and unhinged. When his biological father pressured him to pay his cousin's tuition, Lu Yang immediately produced a fake IOU and cried poverty.

When his cousin tried to guilt-trip him into paying off his gambling debts, Lu Yang promptly suggested he go threaten his white-lotus older sister.

When his cousin became an official and framed him, Lu Yang turned around and reported him for corruption, sending him to prison and bribing the guards to give him a little extra "care."

He amassed wealth step by step. By the time the people around him realized what was happening, he was already rich beyond measure, standing at a height they could never reach.
